I have not seen the type of this species, which, according to

‘Very close to Clitopa, but differing in the following particulars : 
Clypeus separated from the forehead by a strong line, completely 
rounded in front, with the margins reflexed. Forehead with a well- 
marked transverse arched keel. Antennez 10-jointed ; the first joint 
large, the second narrower and transverse, the third a little longer 
than broad, slightly narrowed at the base, the fourth shorter and 
with the internal apical angle slightly produced, the fifth shorter 
and produced into a short lamella, the sixth and tenth forming a 
moderately long-curved club. Elytra slightly narrowed towards the 
apex, and not covering the abdomen very perfectly. Anterior tibize 
tri-dentate.”’
